observa * tion for an indefinite length of time an ' hour or more if desired [ we have been able to give a tangible i demonstration that 1he correctness ot the view ndvaueed many years ago that an i electric charge is not a homogeneous some thingâ€”"a strain in the ether or an lm-j ponderable fluid spread uniformly over the surface or the charged body buj thatj it has a eiir _ ____Â»_-- son j sists in fact of a if-__lie member of speck 6 atoms of electricity exactly alike pep j pered over the surface of the charged body | it follows of course that an electric current which is simply a charge in mo tion consists of a movement of these atoms of electricity through or over the conducting body pushing into unknown this is not asserting anything about the ultimate nature of electricity but is merely pushing the unknown down into these ultimate electric units or atoms as a matter of fact we are pretty certain that all material atoms contain as consti tuents these ultimate electrical atoms and it ls the vogue now to surmise that these electrical atoms are the ultimate units out of which all matter is built np we have succeeded in making a very precise measurement of the value of this ultimate or elementary electrical charge and find it to be 5.13x10.10 absolnte elec trostatic units we think this valne can not be in error by more than one-half of 1 per cent we have been able to bring forward new direct and most convincing evldence of the correctness of the kinetic theory of matter for we have not only shown directly that a molecule of air is in rapid motion but we have measured the order of magnitude of its energy of agitation and find it to agree with the computations based upon the kinetic theory new proofs are found we have been able to prove thui the great majority of the ions or an ionised gas of both positive and negative sign carry ! one single elemetary electrical discharge but we have strong evidence that some of these ions cany multiples of the elemen tary charge our results demonstrate in a new way that the negative ion ln air is considerably j more mobile than is the positive ion this means that its velocity of agitation is ! greater and that it moves faster under the i influence of an electrical field our results show that the law of fall of a droplet through a resisting medium j commonly known as stokes law breaks j down for droplets whose radius is less j than 0016 centimeters the results i further show in just what way this law j breaks down in brief the method by which all these results have been obtained ls as follows we blow a cloud o line oil or mercury drops by means of an atomiser and intro duce one of these drops through a pinhole into the spit â€” bet7.-ecn the pintes of Â» horizontal air condenser explains his experiments the droplet there catches one or more of the ions which normally â€” :!_* in __â€¢ 0 _- j which have been produced in the spa<-e : between the plates by any of the nana ionising agents like radium or x rays the time of fall of this droplet through a measured distance is observed when no electrical field exists between the plates then a field of strength between 3,000 uuil 8,000 volts per c*_tim>.er is thrown on and the time of rise of tiie droplet under the influence of this tie'd through the same distance ls again measured this operation i repeated and the speeds checked an indefinite number of times or until the droplet catches g now ion when its speed under the influence of the field instautly changes though the speed under gravity remains constgijt from the sign and magnitude of rhe i change in speed the sign and exact value ! of the charge carried by a captured ion is ] determined the air in a ingle observa tion need not exceed oiie-tlnrd of 1 per cent from tlte
